I was pretty excited when Phasma was announced, that I wrote down my initial thoughts about what we might learn about Phasma: “I'm wondering if the reason we didn't get to know much about Phasma in TFA is because her backstory would give away a lot of surprises for TLJ, and maybe she has a larger role in the story than we have been shown. I'm not saying she's linked to any specific character, but I am hoping the character becomes a significant part of the franchise.”Phasma’s story is told by Vi

Phasma was actually a surprisingly delightful read. I've been reading these new canon Star Wars books for awhile and anything that isn't written by Claudia Grey seems to be mediocre at best. Yet, Delilah Dawson has proven me wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.Phasma starts off with a resistance spy getting captured and interrogated by a Captain of the first order who wants to take down Phasma because he is jealous of her rank and rise through the first order. The resistance spy then tells Cap...

My original PHASMA (STAR WARS) audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.After writing the Star Wars short story, The Perfect Weapon, Delilah S. Dawson returns to a galaxy far, far away with the full-length novel, Phasma. I’m a fan of Dawson’s work, and it’s great fun seeing her playing around in one of my favorite cinematic universes and helping to build and expand upon the new canon of expanded universe tie-ins centering around the trilogy of Star Wars films.After bei...

Im a massive Star Wars Fan and I felt like Phasma just isnt main character material. The story felt like the components around her were more important and Phasma was just related or involved in anytjing that occurred. Continues some great backstory information but overall not the strongest Star Wars novel.

5 🌟Nice to be able to learn more about Phasma and her origins. She seems dangerous though. Hux better watch himself and everyone else should too. Hope Cardinal will join the Resistance. Also hope that Siv and Torbi will be okay. RIP everyone that died.

This is probably the first of the "Newer Improved and better tasting" Star Wars Disney book that I've liked. It does have its flaws but those are grounded in the silliness of this "new" SWG. I'll be blunt-Th First Order is not scary. They seem rather soft. When the Cardinal character -what a dumbfucking name especially since it is implied in the book that it implies his rank as well as his color. The problem is where the hell did anyone in the SWG universe see a Cardinal (as in of the Catholic C...

OMG I loved this book. I was very dubious about reading this book. Actually I went into reading this book with zero expectations, at best I hope to get more insight into what could happen or new characters in the Last Jedi. In the Force Awakens Captain Phasma had two lines and I though her getting thrown into the garbage disposal was a fitting end to a forgettable character. Considering all this I was expecting a short story novella type book, this is nothing of the sort it is 380 page book with...

3.5 to 4 stars. I liked this book a great deal more than "Inferno Squad". It's a relief that Phasma's not played for laughs here (like in Force Awakens when Han and Finn throw her in a garbage chute.) The Phasma in this book is incredibly ruthless, singleminded, driven, violent. This is what I expected to see when she first walked onscreen. This story takes place in two places, Parnassos, Phasma's home planet 10 years ago, and aboard a First Order star destroyer, Absolution. Vi Moradi, a Resista...

Let's be honest, the only reason I read this book was for Armitage Hux wearing a robe and how he doesn't want to keep Kylo Ren waiting. Except for Armitage Hux (You're doing amazing sweetie), I did not like this book.Every character made horrible decisions that made no sense or outright contradicted themselves.Am I really suppose to feel bad/think Phasma is the Evillest Evil to Ever Evil who only cares about her own survival when everyone she killed kinda were asking for it? Not a single one was...

Read the full review at my site Digital AmritBut if you are to join me, you must look to your pride, Phasma. You must learn to gracefully accede to a superior’s will. Would you rather be right or would you rather be alive?Introduction‘Phasma’, part of the new Star Wars canon, is written by Delilah S Dawson. It is, as the name implies, the ‘origin’ story of the eponymous character, set after ‘Return of the Jedi’ but before ‘The Force Awakens’.Recommendation“Phasma’ was a let down. I had reasonabl...

Let's get this over with. Phasma. I've got two confessions to make. First, this book took me about two months to finish. Second, I finished reading Phasma about a week ago, but I really didn't feel like reviewing it.That's how much this book drained me guys. Thank goodness it is over. Now before I begin, I have to let it be known that I felt the need to change my rating system and update a few older reviews to accomodate this clunker's one star. THE STORY: The purpose of this book is to tell the...

Good insight into a character sadly neglected in both films, but much as I enjoyed learning about Phasma, it was the frame story and the character of Cardinal that really captured me. I hope Dawson's plans include a future Star Wars novel featuring Vi and Cardinal...

Probably the best of the Disney era SW books I've read. Told as a story within a story, Phasma's and the framing story both work. Vi is a rebellion spy captured by the First Order. One of their officers wants information on Phasma and is willing to torture her to get it. So Vi slowly delves out Phasma's life on Parnassas as told to her by someone who grew up with her. Parnassas is a dying planet, her people struggling to survive. When General Brendal Hux crash lands on Parnassus, Phasma sees it

Surviving is merciless! This is a prose novel, part of the new canon of "Star Wars". PHASMA'S DARK PAST I got an odd feeling while reading this novel, since most of it, it's told by a third one, instead of the actual Phasma, in fact, Phasma appeared (in real time) until the final climax of the book. So, it's a book of Phasma and at the same time, kinda not.But, don't get me wrong, since the story is quite strong, since it's a book about a villain, and certainly Phasma is merciless when it's

Have you ever started a book and found that you were really enjoying it…yet months later, you realized that for whatever reason, you still hadn’t gotten around to finishing it? For me, that’s Delilah S. Dawson’s “Phasma”: I started it way back in early February, found myself digging it more than I thought I would, became genuinely invested in the story and where it was leading…and yet, three months later, I found that for whatever reason, I’d only completed about half of it. Part of that I chalk...

What a mess! This confusing book makes me pine for the original Expanded Universe: Thrawn, the Yuuzahn Vong, Corran Horn...MUCH better than this dreck!

This book breathes new life into Phasma, a character who had little more than a bit part on The Force Awakens. This is both a good and a bad thing. Now that Phasma has become a bona fide character in the Star Wars cannon, what role she is set to play in The Last Jedi is very important; given the momentum generated in this book to build her up as a ruthless career soldier with high ambitions and the Marvel comic (of which I’ve not read) it’s obvious there are plans to break the ‘Stormtrooper as c...
